I'm really worried about my Mantoux test results from a few days ago. I attached some pictures here. Can you take a look and let me know if it seems positive or negative? Unfortunately, the pathology lab where I had the test done is closed for a couple of days, and I'm a bit anxious. Just for some context, I had tuberculosis two years back and completed the full course of treatment. Now my doctor suggested this test because I've been having body pain again. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried about my brother who was diagnosed with MDR TB. He went through three months of injections and took a lot of medicines for almost a year, but sometimes he still has a cough. It's not all day, but it happens occasionally. How can we check his current condition? What tests would show if the TB is completely gone? Would a chest X-ray help? He's not on meds anymore, so Im wondering if MDR TB is something that stays for life or if it can be fully treated. How long does the treatment usually last? Is it possible for him to be completely cured? I'm not sure what steps we should take next.

I've just started taking Akurit 4 tablets for mild TB, and I've noticed that my urine has turned orange since this morning. Is this something that usually happens, or should I be really concerned about it? I'm feeling a bit anxious and would love to get some clarity on this.

If the orange-colored urine is your only concern, there is no need to worryit is a common, non-threatening side effect. However, always feel free to consult your doctor if you feel unsure or develop additional symptoms.

I've been experiencing some late-night wheezing that lasts for a bit. It usually gets better after I use ginger honey, but I'm curious about what's causing it. I don't have a history of asthma, although my sister does. Could there be a connection? Should I be worried about this?
